have you seen them?

i'm a huge idol fan!! love the show!!! this fall they are doing the next greatest band....well, i didn't intend to watch until i found out denver and the mile high orchestra had been chosen!! some of you out there have heard of them, others have not.... here's what i know!!

denver attended high school with me and is most known for swinging across our stage as tarzan in our band show. he was an awesome trumpet player that told us all he would one day have a band! sure....

so off he goes to tennessee and starts to form a band.....

enter adam....kid in the youth group at our church. trumpet player...just graduated...not really sure what he wants to do. decides to go join denver....

now they have denver and the mile high orchestra. a christian swing band that has toured to many places and done the kluv cruise. they just can't quite the big break, but are really quite good!! they offer a different flavor to music...

so we tune in to the show and have to suffer through some rather bad bands i might say! i don't know...a bunch of 6th graders without their shirts singing heavy metal is just not right. denver has made it though for yet another week. i will say there is a bit of variety left in the show, but i'm not sure who is really watching and casting the votes...

tune in.. friday night on fox at 8:00. deal with the bad bands but then enjoy a little bit of swing and bluegrass....and VOTE guys!!!!

i mean....denver did say he'd have a band one day!!! he has come a long ways from our favorite swinging tarzan!!!!!

2021 word: rhythm

 as i began to ponder all that i had learned about myself in 2020 i found amazing places of adaptability, leadership, and change.  those are great strengths and proved to be valuable in 2020, however those same things left me feeling a bit out of sorts, unanchored.  i know my life needs to find some grounding again.  i told my husband yesterday and a friend today that i am not looking forward to 2021.  no big plans. no vacations to look forward to.  several things are already cancelled and leaving some voids at work.  but really...there is nothing like being an incredible social person and realizing 2021 has a looming sense of loneliness when my girl takes on college. with this in mind, i knew i needed to find some ways to reclaim myself; putting space into my life filled with things that bring joy and peace.  there are things i need to continue changing physically, emotionally, spiritually, and relationally, yet discipline is not in my skill set.  it freaks me out.  constrains me lead

me, on politics

i despise politics. i never liked it, but i married a man fascinated with it. a man who wanted to be part of it all...and was, briefly. boy were our eyes opened... anyways...it seems like this election has several hot button topics. one of which is universal healthcare. my cousin started a blog called politics for mom and there have been several heated debates going on. i was reading several comments on healthcare. and frankly i was bothered! now, i don't know that a strict universal healthcare is the answer, but i do know that we have now doesn't work for the average person. here is our story.... hubby worked in a small business - 3 employees at the most that i can remember. we paid 1/2 our insurance..until it came to the point where our half each month was twice what we would pay if we were on our own. but for the owner it saved him money. so he agreed to cover ours in full. we were very grateful. i also know at times, that because of the healthcare cost, it was a struggle f

the word...

new year.  new decade. new word.  i started the habit of choosing a word almost exactly a decade ago.  each year the word has evolved and helped shape the year. well, this year is quite likely the exception.  or at least i thought it was.  my usual yearly reflection takes me on a journey through the year where the word has evolved into something entirely different than the road i envisioned. and usually i am in awe of how God used that word. this year was strange.  looking back on the goals i set, i see failure, not awe.  now before you go and tell me i am not a failure, i did fail at the goals i set.  truly.  goal 1:  grow and develop in a healthy way.  nope.  ending the year with extra instead of less.  attempted, yet didn't follow through on many health plans.  goal 2:  grow spiritually through meditation, scripture reading, and community.  nope.  ending the year with little reading and loss of church community that grieves me deeply. late fall i started pondering thes
